Improving School-Home Communication
• Four “Ps” of School-Home Communication
–Positive– Past history makes parents wary of communication with
schools– Positive communication promotes positive relationships– Think of ways to communicate positively on a regular
basis
![Page 9: School-Home Communication. The third Webinar in a Parent Involvement Webinar Series Provided by the Illinois State Board of Education in partnership with](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032516/56649c6d5503460f9491eaa2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Improving School-Home Communication
• Four “Ps” of School-Home Communication
–Personalized– Always communicate in the language spoken in the home (this is a requirement of Title I for English Language Learners)
– Find resources to help you write words in your student’s home language– Xeroxed memos are information…not communication– Families are on “information overload” so jot down a
personal note to make it stand out from the rest

Improving School-Home Communication
• Four “Ps” of School-Home Communication
–Proactive–Notify parents of concerns…don’t wait until there’s an
issue (then work together on the solution)– Provide plenty of notice for special events– Keep parents informed of classroom rules,
expectations, and current lesson emphasis

Improving School-Home Communication
• Four “Ps” of School-Home Communication

with their comments and concerns– Take the lead in modeling “partnership” behaviors
